The hat party was a great success, thank you to everyone who came to show their support and thank you to those who weren’t able to make it and showed their support in spirit! She had fun at the party and now she has many head coverings to choose from and to match her outfit. :-)
It is a blessing to know there are so many friends and family who love and support us. Thank you!
Here are some pictures from the party.
She will be going through six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. The radiologist says the part that is being radiated will lose hair and we don’t know if it will grow back. The nurse at the patient and family class said it wouldn’t grow back, but the radiologist said it would, so we are hoping it is the latter.
Either way, she will have a bald head for at least a couple of months and hopefully a stubbled head for a few more months after that. This is why we are throwing Christina a “hat party,” where we get her hats and scarves to help her keep her head warm and wigs to give her some “hair.” :cowboy:
Also, getting together with family and friends with lots of food is always nice!
Here’s a registry for head coverings.
